Re: Suspicious notification spam

Greetings.  I experienced the same thing most everyone else has this morning.  Using an Orbi RBR750 and version 2.271.79 of the Orbi mobile app.  Hopefully it's just a broadcast push notification erroneously sent from Netgear testing.

 

Thanks for any light that can be shed.

Re: Notification Message Quest Wifi Test Deep Link

I had the same "Guest WiFi PN- Guest WiFi Test deep link" notifications from the Android app. 5 of them over 10mins and my guest WiFi is off. I have an Orbi AX4200 WiFi 6 High-Performance Router with 2 satellites

Re: Notification Message Quest Wifi Test Deep Link

RBR750 w/WPA3 guest network enabled. Recently got a series of alert messages for "deep link test". Searched the support site for a list of messages (and their meanings) and came up empty. Can someone post a link to this content, or post the list of messages and their meanings? Would be much appreciated.

Re: Notification Message Quest Wifi Test Deep Link

RBR40 and 2 satellites: Same thing for me as well. I have gotten a bunch of notifications this morning about deep link on guest wifi. Was very concerned until I saw everyone else having the same thing. Hope it stops shortly.

Re: Notification Message Quest Wifi Test Deep Link

Yes I'm getting the same message, I have no idea where it comes from but it's happening repeatedly in the last day or so.

 

If someone from netgear can just verify that this is legitimate then that would be great, why do I have to assume it's a likely bad actor.

 

cheers,

I just hope that this isn’t some form of a phishing attack to get us to click the Orbi app and harvest our username and password.

Re: Notification Message Quest Wifi Test Deep Link

Today I've received on my Orbi app these five notifications: "Guest WiFi PN Guest WiFi Test deep link."  I've never rec'd this notification before and don't understand it.  There's also a box "Unable to Connect to Router."  My devices are connected to the Orbi router, so I don't know what is "unable to connect to router."  Also, the Guest WiFi setting is off; I don't recall ever using the guest wifi nor do I have a guest wifi password.  (This situation may be completely unrelated, but recently, I've notice that when I return home, my smart phone often does not automatically reconnect to the Orbi router.  It's staying connected to a random Xfinity connection (my Internet provider), even though the Orbi router is has a much better signal.  I have to manually connect the phone to the Orbi router.  Again, this is new problem.)  Thank you for your assistance in diagnosing this problem.  Gregg

Re: Notification Message Quest Wifi Test Deep Link

Just spoke with support - They indicated it was a test of the Orbi App notification system and was in error, but that should all be resolved now. Had them run a systems and security check - all seemed well. They suggested I reach back out if anything else odd happen, but they advised this was not a phish or malicious attack.

Been receiving the "Guest WiFI Test Deep Link" (5x) the past hour.  On the message log, you can see the message occurrence (in addition to the phone notification).    Following this thread for response

Re: Notification Message Quest Wifi Test Deep Link

Got the same.

Could someone at Netgear please explain what are these notifications that just suddenly started popping up to my Android device?

"Guest WiFi PN'
'Guest WiFi Test deep link"

I have never seen such notices and suddenly got about 7 of them before unplugging my device.

I have an Orbi RBR352.

Re: Notification Message Quest Wifi Test Deep Link

It’s not reassuring NG support doesn’t seen to know, or hasn’t yet been able to yet find out, what’s going on with the notifications.
